Gold Award Process

Prerequisites

Special accommodations can be made for groups of 5+ girls who are
more than 35 miles from a Go Gold Workshop location. Contact
us to request a special workshop session 4-6 weeks in advance of
desired date.

Project Proposal

Complete and submit Girl Scout Gold Award Project Proposal to us by email.
Paperwork is then reviewed by Manager of Teen Experiences and you will
be invited to attend a Gold Award Panel to present your Project
Proposal. At that time, a Gold Award Advisor will be appointed to you.

Gold Project

Once your project is approved at the Gold Award Panel, begin working
following the Gold Award Guidelines​.

Remember to check in with your Advisor monthly. Your Advisor is
there to offer support and guidance as you strive to achieve Gold.
Communication is key!

Final Report & Interview

Once your Gold Award Project is finished, complete the Girl Scout Gold Award Final Report and schedule
a Final Interview with your Gold Award Advisor. Your Advisor must sign
off on your Final Report.

The Gold Award has been officially earned upon completing a
successful Final Interview and all paperwork has been submitted to us
by email.

Celebrate

Gold Award recipients who complete the steps by Jan. 15 will be
recognized at Inspire a Girl
Expo and Gold Award Ceremony on April 7, 2019 at Overland Park
Convention Center. For projects completed after Jan. 15, recipients
will be recognized at the next year’s event.

Gold Award Resources and Tips

Remember: Make sure you have completed training and have
project approval before you begin the bulk of work on your
project. The Gold Award is a girl award and must be completed by Sept.
30 of the year you graduate high school or turn 18.
